Rear Trailing Arm Rebuild DIY

[Deserion]

Nice writeup. I don't think brake cleaner would hurt the boots, otherwise it would harm caliper piston seals.

Maybe for kicks I should try this on the old set I have in the garage.

Thanks for taking the time to post this. I have an old set of arms that I didn't dispose of and a car that's rattling. Hope to get it done soon and swap them out.

One cautionary warning on this noise fix, as others have reported when replacing the arms with new, is once this obnoxious source of noise has been taken care of, you may start hearing some other, more quiet noises.

Another easy to fix rattle, while you have the car raised, is the rear sway bar bushings. ~20 years can harden them even on a low mile car.
